121: Evidence on hearing of appeal against disallowance

You could also call this:

“What you can say when appealing a child support decision in court”

When you go to court to appeal a decision made by the Commissioner about your objection to a child support matter, you need to be careful about what you can say. The court will only let you talk about the reasons you gave in your original objection. If you want to bring up new reasons or show new evidence that wasn’t in your original objection, you have to ask the court for special permission first. This rule helps keep the appeal process fair and organised.
